Cala Millor – Summer, Sun and More

Cala Millor is situated on the East coast of the island of Mallorca. It is shaped by tourism and this has been the case since 1934. It was during that year when the first hotel emerged here. The sand beach of Cala Millor is approx. 1800 metres long and 30 to 35 metres wide. The dunes which were once located behind the beach, were removed in favour of a well laid-out promenade. From a geographical standpoint, the place belongs to two municipalities which are separated by a road. The beach resort is not only popular amongst German holidaymakers. Many Germans also have a second residence in the area.

The Structure of Cala Millor

The district of Cala Millor extends over two municipalities that are only separated from another by roads. As a result of the large expansion that tourism brings with it, the site is simply divided up. The northern part of Cala Millor belongs to the municipality Son Severa. This is the oldest district. The new building developments are all located in the municipality Sant Llorenç des Cardassar. Here you will still find a lot of agriculture and open spaces and thus the site extends further into this direction. At the same time, smaller sites are also being incorporated such as Son Moro which now belongs to Cala Millor.
